Gymnastics classes for Adults in London
Our gymnastics classes focus on gymnastic movements that are used in CrossFit. For all abilities, whether you're learning the basics or refining the advanced skills to become more efficient in workouts.
What is CrossFit gymnastics?
CrossFit gymnastics is any bodyweight movement where your own body is the load. It builds body control, coordination and spatial awareness: the ability to move well through space and manage your own weight.
It isn't the aesthetics and apparatus routines of artistic gymnastics. Here it's about functional, relative-strength movements that improve your general physical preparedness, and it's one of the three foundations of CrossFit programming alongside weightlifting and cardio.
Body control
Learn to move efficiently through space and take control of your own body weight.
Neurological skills
Sharpen your balance, agility, coordination and accuracy.
Foundational pillars
Built on static shapes like hollow body and arch holds, midline tension and relative strength.

Your Gymnastics Questions Answered
Yes. Every movement and progression has a supported entry point. We'll provide you with the framework to build the necessary strength and skill set to pull yourself over the bar.
Each session we'll focus on a different movement and break this movement down into progressions, starting from the basics. When you arrive at a progression that is challenging, the coach will support you in improving technique and efficiency so that you walk away from the session a little better than before you arrived.
